How to KIN Cats.

After much consultation with veteri-
nary surgeons and experts, no better or
more mercful method OF killing cats has
been found than TO put with long
handled wooden spoon about half a tea
spoonful Of pure cyanide OF potassium on
the cats tongue as near the throat as pos
sible. The suffering is only for q few
seconds. Great care must be used TO get
pure cyanide OF potassium, and 20 keep 1t

THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

A geological survey? Yes; we are in
favor of one for Arkansas if it con be
had in reality, by corps Of competent
geologists. Why2 Because it is the ini-
tiatory step toward the development of
the varied and vast resources of the state.
It would be worth thousands if not mill
ions of dollars to Sharp county to open
up and develop the pot iron or looking
glass ore of Big Creek, Scott, Washing
ton and Cave townships the calamine
zinc and hematite irons of Big Greek,
Washington, Piney Fork, Lave Creek,
Lebanon and Morgan townships; the
manganese of Sullivan, johnson and
North, and the iron and supposed silver
of Hardy and Highland townships If
the development of the mineral resources
of Sharp county alone were accomplished,
a geological survey of Arkansas would
be paying investment.
